OLED Flat Panel Display'sLots of action these days in the OLED industry and some major players are going all out to gain a major foothold within the large screen organic FPD market.
The major Japanese newspaper, Sankei Shimbun, stated in a recent article that Matsushita Electric Industrial /Panasonic Corp that it is finalizing plans to become the world's first to mass-produce 37 inch OLED televisons within the three years. The other big guns like, Sony, Samsung SDI, Phillips, Toshiba, Universal Display, to mention a few major organic panel manufacturers, better take note that Panasonic / Matsushita means major business and as the world's # one plasma tv manufacturer they are well ahead of the curve if they keep this production schedule in-line to produce the large OLED panels.
The next generation flat panel televisions utilizing this incredible OLED technology will certainly be the next battleground for these titans of the electronic's industry to lay out their mission plans and strategies in securing their territory in this new and massive growth organic electronic industry. Sources stated also that the 37 inch OLED TV's made by Matsushita would cost in the range of $1,400.00 ( 150,000 yen), so it looks like the cost of OLED display technology will be at a reasonable entry price and within most peoples budgets for high end electronics. Another added bonus for us to wait and buy large screen OLED TV's very soon!
Production on their OLED TV's will be done at their new LCD production plant now being built in Himeji, in western Japan plus it wil share production lines with IPS Alpha Technology LCD factory which it owns a 30% share. Matsushita shares will also be changing its stock name to Panasonic Corp. on October 1st 2008.
